Ever wonder if there could be another "you" out there, in the dark abyss we call outer-space? Maybe a different version of "you" that you think maybe better? There could be a million different versions of "you", each version would have something unique about the version, something that you would desire to have in yourself right now. But not all versions of "you" can be good. Not all dimensions can be good, There has to be bad ones too. In those bad dimensions, there could be so many versions of "you" that could be doing so many bad things. "You" could be the Hitler in one of those dimensions. Don't believe me, think there can't be multiples of you, just think about it. If you've ever seen the show "Stranger Things", you'll know what I'm talking but if not, then listen up. In the show, they had this place called the "Upside Down". Basically, the "Upside Down" was a parallel dimension of Hawkins, Indiana; in order to get there, they characters in the show would have to find the gate. In the real world l, we don't have a gate to travel from, but the same logic works. In the series, there was a place that they referred to the "Upside Down", called the Vale of Shadows. The Vale of Shadows is a dimension that is a dark reflection, or echo, of our world. It is a place of decay and death, a plane out of phase, a "place" with monsters. It is right next to you and you don’t even see it. I have 5 possible theories why a parallel or multiverse could be possible. 1. We don't know what the shape of space-time is exactly. One prominent theory is that it is flat and goes on forever. This would present the possibility of many universes being out there. But with that topic in mind, it's possible that universes can start repeating themselves. That's because particles can only be put together in so many ways. More about that in a moment. 2. Another theory for multiple universes comes from "eternal inflation." Based on research from Tufts University cosmologist Alexander Vilenkin, when looking at space-time as a whole, some areas of space stop inflating like the Big Bang inflated our own universe. Others, however, will keep getting larger. So if we picture our own universe as a bubble, it is sitting in a network of bubble universes of space. What's interesting about this theory is the other universes could have very different laws of physics than our own, since they are not linked. 3. Or perhaps multiple universes can follow the theory of quantum mechanics (how subatomic particles behave), as part of the "daughter universe" theory. If you follow the laws of probability, it suggests that for every outcome that could come from one of your decisions, there would be a range of universes — each of which saw one outcome come to be. So in one universe, you took that job to China. In another, perhaps you were on your way and your plane landed somewhere different, and you decided to stay. And so on. 4. Another possible avenue is exploring mathematical universes, which, simply put, explain that the structure of mathematics may change depending in which universe you reside. "A mathematical structure is something that you can describe in a way that's completely independent of human baggage," said theory-proposer Max Tegmark of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as quoted in the 2012 article. "I really believe that there is this universe out there that can exist independently of me that would continue to exist even if there were no humans. 5. And last but not least as the idea of parallel universes. To go back to the idea that space-time is flat, the number of possible particle configurations in multiple universes would be limited to 10^10^122 distinct possibilities, to be exact. So, with an infinite number of cosmic patches, the particle arrangements within them must repeat — infinitely many times over. This means there are infinitely many "parallel universes": cosmic patches exactly the same as ours (containing someone exactly like you), as well as patches that differ by just one particle's position, patches that differ by two particles' positions, and so on down to patches that are totally different from ours. Now, a lot of people don’t believe in the idea of having parallel universes, and their opinion has a lot of sense behind it. People say that the universe goes on forever, but it really doesn’t. The universe is said to be approximately 14 billion years old, which means one thing, that it’s not infinite. And with that being said, the age of the universe plays a key factor. That means that multiverses would have different rates of inflation and different times (longer or shorter) for inflation. This decreases the possibilities of universes similar to our own. Having other parallel universe mimic ours is amazing, and really interesting, but all we humans have are theories. And those theories can bring us far, but they still won’t have the answers. That's because there are no other realities where the choices of your dream self play out; you, therefore, are the only person that can make those choices happen.
